A breakthrough in the Morrison government's standoff with Facebook over news content published to the platform was achieved on Tuesday with the social media giant agreeing to restore Australian news content.
Facebook is set to restore access to news content after the Morrison government announced it will introduce a number of technical amendments to its media bargaining code. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg spoke to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg several times over the last two days, seeking to get the tech giant back to the negotiating table after it announced the banning of Australian news content from its platform.

hope FB and our Aus govt come to an amicable win win settlement for all and sundry
Facebook is over. Just delete
Facebook realised it wasn't just Australia that was pissed of with their behaviour, the world was. 👎 In saying that good on Facebook for changing their mind. 👍

Breakthrough? Zuckerberg fucked Joshy with a pineapple and Joshy limped away
A backdown by the Morrison government has ended the standoff with a stunningly easy win for Facebook. There fixed!
